Nonprofits across America are learning that when you produce Nilo Cruz' Pulitzer Prize winner, Anna in the Tropics, you should be prepared for it to have a big future.

The Victory Gardens Theatre staging is the Midwest premiere of the play and it has been a big hit for the company. So much so, that following the end of the run on Oct. 31, the production will take the unusual trip of transferring to a bigger Chicago nonprofit, the Goodman Theatre. Anna will play the Goodman's intimate, 290-seat Owen Theatre from Nov. 7 to Nov. 30. The Victory Gardens run is sold out, but tickets to the Goodman stay go on sale Oct. 22 at 10 AM. Call the Goodman Theatre box office at (312) 443-3800 or purchase tickets online at http://www.Ticketweb.com.

Anna is currently played to full crowds at the McCarter Theatre of Princeton, NJ. Following its close on Oct. 19, it will transfer intact to Broadway, beginning a commercial run on Nov. 4.
